@Spencer DixonRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Gradually raising rents, exploring lease buyouts, or selling with tenants in place are balanced alternatives.

Diversifying your portfolio can provide stability and growth potential, especially if you explore different types of properties or geographic locations.
